Two things come to mind about this. First, why would the Flesh-Eating
Slugs be going after veggies at all? Wouldn't they eat flesh? And, if
Hagrid did need repellant for them, why wouldn't this be something he
could get from Madame Sprout, or some reputable store in Diagon Alley?
Knockturn Alley seems like a strange place to have to go for some
gardening supplies!
